Ultrasound!!!!

Ugh. So I'm gonna rant a lil in this post....

We got our U/s yesterday. Baby is healthy, on track, active, and A GIRL!! Awesome stuff all around. Her name will be Lilith Deanna.

Rant time:

Not gonna lie though, I'm pissed off and sad (I cried last night when I saw) that the stupid lady didn't get ANY pics that are like "Yep. That's a girl!" even though it was pretty freaking clear and she totally could have. She wasn't very nice anyway though. Kind of dismissive towards me and never once said please... I R disappoint... >:c

She was like "Lay down. You will have pictures." because I was trying to sit up a tiny bit and look at the screen to see if it was a boy or girl. Like I just wanted to see my baby moving since she was being so active and the lady was like "Lay down. You will have pictures." She never once said please, and her tone was pretty cold and dismissive. Then to get the CD and not even HAVE any kind of "it's a girl" pics (No pictures at all of that even though that was my main concern due to PTSD issues) OR video of my baby moving around (Only a close up video of the heartbeat, which while cool was not the only thing I was expecting to see)?

I feel cheated (I didn't really get to see much of ANYTHING. I got a good glimpse at the girl parts and that is only because I ignored her telling me to lay down but my eyes are bad so it is NOT what I wanted at all [merely a semi-decent brief look]. I wanted a good look damn it. Also, I didn't get to see the baby moving around a lot either because she kept telling me to lay down and so I stupidly listened to her, lesson fucking learned and if I ever have to go back I'm just going to be a bitch about it and tell them to STFU I'm doing what the fuck I want like usual, I just didn't want to have to be on guard and tense on such an important day to me...should have known better since the hospitals aorund here suck ass) and lied too I'm crying and want to scream. :(

I get that she is there to make sure baby is healthy and measure things and yadda yadda first and foremost. Fine, cool, great, do your job as a medical professional and get the medical stuff done first even. But how hard is it to then spend 30 seconds to be compassionate towards first time parents who want to see what they are having? It's upsetting and not good bedside manner and pretty much put a damper on an otherwise AMAZING day for me. :(

She was cold and rude and dismissve. LIke, I get it lady, you do this shit every day and probably have kids of your own that are grown already (She was older) so you probably don't get it anymore but for fucks sake look at me like a PERSON, like a FIRST TIME MOM and not just another patient....  :(

I went to make a complaint (Got to the superviser but it went to his voicemail so I am now waiitng to see if they call me back by tomorrow morning or I'm calling them again) because seriously, that attitude was NOT cool with me, and then the picture thing on top of it? I'm one mad mama.... >:'/
It's not cool with me at all and I'm not a person who puts up with that kind of thing without at least a complaint.

Our server at dinner afterwards though (Outback. Got a lobster and steak combo that was on special and a glass of red wine to celebrate~ Plus, brownie dessert!!) ? She was AWESOME and I am letting her corporate office know how great she was because her manager said that she will get some kind of awesome certificate thingy. ♥ :D


Update a few hours later- We are getting another U/s free of charge. Hopefully it won't be a long one and hoping we seriously will not need another and that the tech is nicer this time.  I'm not happy about having to go in again and put my baby through it again, but it is what it is. Calling to schedule it tomorrow and find out when they can get us (Probably Wednesday at 4 again)
